Abstract:
A structure for a chemical sensing device includes a plurality of recesses and a plurality of electrically conductive elements located in, and protruding from, the plurality of recesses.
Abstract:
A water vapor sensor comprises a substrate and a film of carbon nanotubes impregnated with surfactant on the substrate. The substrate is of material which is inert relative to the film. Two or more electrical conductors are in contact with in spaced apart zones of the film, whereby the impedance of the film may be measured. The sensor is housed in housing which protects the sensor but also allows exposure of the film to water vapor.
Abstract:
A dosimeter includes a platinum-ruthenium (PtRu) nanoparticle-decorated, -coated, or -deposited carbon nanostructure element. The PtRu nanoparticle-decorated carbon nanostructure element is foulably sensitive to a gas.

Abstract:
A structure for a chemical sensing device, the structure comprising at least one electrically conductive element located in, and protruding from, at least one recess. A method of manufacturing the structure includes: (a) providing a template comprising at least one recess having a recess depth; (b) providing an electrically conductive material in the at least one recess; and (c) removing part of the template to decrease the recess depth of the at least one recess, thereby forming said protruding at least one electrically conductive element.

Abstract:
Controlling dimensions of nanowires includes lithographically forming a trench in a layer of a polymer resin with a width less than one micrometer where the polymer resin has a thickness less than one micrometer and is deposited over an electrically conductive substrate, depositing a nanowire material within the trench to form a nanowire, and obtaining the nanowire from the trench with a removal mechanism.

Abstract:
A method for forming a fluidic ejection device is described. The method includes depositing a first layer on a silicon wafer, the first layer including a first photoresist, and exposing, at a first energy level, a portion of the first photoresist. The method also includes depositing a second layer on the first layer, the second layer including a second photoresist that is more sensitive to light than the first photoresist, and exposing, at a second energy level, a portion of the second photoresist. The second energy level is less than the first energy level. The method also includes developing unexposed portions of the first photoresist and the second photoresist to form an enclosed firing chamber and a nozzle.
